Chapter 233.

When Jiang Ran returned to the East County Mansion, everything was peaceful in the city.

The only thing that was damaged was the East County Prefecture’s government offices.

Now that all matters had also been taken care of, when Jiang Ran reappeared in front of Zhao Riming.

Zhao Riming felt like his mind was a bit messed up.

“So …… the one who has been following this official these past few days is not Strongman Li?

“Rather, it’s Swordsman Jiang?”

“Precisely.”

Jiang Ran smiled:

“Things are made in secret, words are leaked and defeated, please forgive me for deceiving you, Lord Zhao.”

“Hahaha.”

Zhao Riming didn’t get annoyed when he heard this, instead, he laughed freely:

“A good one, things are accomplished with secrecy and words are leaked out.

“Jiang warrior’s thinking is extraordinary, it’s really a pity to mix with recklessness.

“If Jiang Warrior is willing, this official is willing to recommend Jiang Warrior to join the dynasty as an official, I don’t know what Jiang Warrior intends to do?”

“?”

Jiang Ran froze, not expecting Zhao Riming to suddenly make such a scene.

Immediately, he laughed dumbly:

“Your honor, I am in the jiangsu, I am used to being free, but I am not willing to enter the court to be bound by that.

“What’s more, I’m a martial artist, if I have an argument with any of the adults, or if I see any corrupt officials, I’ll splash my blood in anger. ……

“At that time, I’m only afraid that Lord Zhao will be moved.”

Moreover, with his martial arts skills, if he turned around and went to the court, if he saw that the emperor’s old man was untenable, he would then slap him to death, and it might not be impossible for him to sit up himself.

That would be too big of a mess to make.

Zhao Riming also felt that his words were a bit frivolous.

Seeing that Jiang Ran refused, he didn’t continue to persuade.

He began to ask about the process of the whole thing.

Jiang Ran didn’t hide anything and began to tell the cause and effect.

Since that Meng Huan cultivated the Shifting Star and Heavenly Killing Demon Technique, then Heavenly Que colluded with it, then combined with the Cangzhou Mansion to speculate on Heavenly Que’s real purpose, and finally concluded that Meng Huan was not enough to make things happen, which led to Heavenly Que’s ability to only have an early seizure.

Finally, it was determined that the East County Mansion was their main target.

This series of circumstances, so and so, so and so was said.

And before Jiang Ran came to the East County Mansion, he had already instructed someone to send a letter to the Blood Sword Hall, so that the Blood Sword Hall could come.

Now speaking here, Jiang Ran said softly:

“Since ancient times, Confucians have used the written word to mess up the law, and chivalry has used the military to violate prohibitions.

“Today’s jianghu masters come out like crucians in the river, too many to count.

“Whether a city or a place is in chaos or not depends on whether the jianghu is in peace or not.

“Lord Zhao, the Purple Moon Villa is bound to lose after this battle.

“With this East County No. 1 missing, the Jianghu is bound to be in chaos.”

Zhao Riming glanced at Mo Qingkong beside Jiang Ran and smiled:

“Since you are Jiang Ran Jiang Warrior, then this should be the stalwart of the Blood Sword Hall?”

Jiang Ran nodded.

“This official understands.”

Zhao Riming said with a smile:

“Ever since the end of the Battle of the Five Kingdoms in the past, within the Golden Cicada Dynasty, there have been experts walking the rivers and lakes from time to time, wreaking havoc on the world.

“The court had no choice but to set up the Sword Enforcement Division and start issuing sword catching orders now.

“For the jianghu righteousness …… court has always been also to peace.

“No matter out of what kind of idea, are unwilling to let the jianghu raw waves.

“Blood Knife Hall as one of the thirteen gangs, if it can replace the Purple Moon Villa …… this official is happy to see it.

“Only, this official is ultimately a court official, in the matters of the jianghu is not good to easily intervene, can only say, can be within this East County Prefecture, for the Blood Sword Hall left a foothold.”

“That’s enough.”

Jiang Ran smiled:

“Also …… this Meng Huan’s head, does Lord Zhao accept it?”

“……”

Zhao Riming was speechless for a while, it’s not like he’s a rag collector.

However, he still nodded:

“Earlier, when the Remnant Sun Sect was a scourge to the jianghu, the imperial court had already issued a sea arrest document.

“This person has a bounty of six thousand taels of grain silver, I’ll have someone go get it.”

Six thousand taels ……

This was actually really not Meng Huan’s price.

But to Jiang Ran, this price was reasonable.

After all, the matter of the Remnant Sun Sect had just risen and had not fermented for too long.

In this day and age, the roads are long, the carriages and horses are slow, and even with flying pigeons and letter eagles, it’s difficult to deliver the news in a timely manner.

The bounty of this Remnant Sun Sect Master is not waiting for a higher amount, it has been taken down by Jiang Ran.

This six thousand taels, Jiang Ran also recognized.

He wasn’t short of money anyway.

What really mattered was the gain in life that could be brought about.

And with Zhao Riming saying this amount, Jiang Ran’s side also popped up a prompt in the meantime.

After waiting for the magistrate to deliver the silver ticket, Jiang Ran handed over his head.

A line of text then appeared in front of him.

[Mission Completed: Receive Reward Shifting Star Heavenly Killing Devil Technique (4 years)].

Jiang Ran looked at this prompt and fell into silence.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to have a strong affinity with the Devil Cult.

That time in the Cangzhou Prefecture as well, killing a Li Feiyun directly exploded the Blood Cauldron Sutra.

Now that he had killed Meng Huan, the Shifting Stars Heavenly Killing Devil Technique had directly appeared.

This made Jiang Ran feel that this Eighteen Heavenly Demon Record seemed to have no compulsion at all.

The explosive rate was simply 100%.

He gently pinched his brow, Zhao Riming saw this and wondered a little, does this silver ticket look like a headache?

He saw Jiang Ran smoothly put away the silver ticket, then he clasped his fists:

“In that case, this matter is over, I will take my leave.

“I still have to turn back to Purple Moon Villa to see how things are going over there.”

“Good.”

Zhao Riming nodded:

“Take care, Jiang Warrior.”

“Farewell.”

After saying that, he led Mo Qingkong out of this East County Prefecture Office.

Standing in front of the government office, he instructed Mo Qingkong two more words, telling him to stay in this East County government at ease.

After the arrival of the Lin Family or the Dugu Family, he could make plans again.

After this matter was done, Jiang Ran went out alone and headed towards Purple Moon Villa.

Purple Moon Villa is not too close to the East County Mansion, good thing Jiang Ran’s internal breath is long, he can perform light power all the way, to wait for the sky to darken, finally arrived before the gate of Purple Moon Villa.

This side of the battlefield is a mess.

The Jianghu disciples who attended the meeting were like birds of prey.

Upon seeing Jiang Ran, many of them were taken aback and went forward to ask who the visitor was, but soon his face was recognized.

“It’s Great Warrior Jiang!”

“Swordsman Jiang has returned.”

Someone greeted and someone shouted, and the sound was then carried inside the Purple Moon Villa.

Without waiting for Jiang Ran to enter, Tang Yingyi and the rest of the group greeted them from within the mountain villa.

Tang Yuyi had naturally resumed her appearance as Li Tianxin now, followed by Jingtan Jushi on the side, only this old man didn’t look too good.

In the daytime did not care to count, to wait for the end of all things, only then thought of Jiang Ran with a real burnt-tailed zither, lying to him is a fake thing.

By now, he had been holding back for an afternoon, but he couldn’t have an attack on Tang Yuyi, and now that he could easily see the person who started it, he naturally had to express his emotions.

Jiang Ran did not care to see this, and greeted the crowd, before saying:

“Are you all still well?”

“Your Excellency don’t worry, everyone is fine.”

Lin Lian Yi stepped forward, his attitude pulled down.

Seeing this, Jiang Ran nodded and entered the Purple Moon Villa with the crowd.

After seating the guests and hosts, he explained the situation to the crowd.

In the end, he mentioned the matter of the Blood Sword Hall entering the East County Mansion.

Shang Qianhu’s face immediately became extremely ugly.

After that, he was a bit afraid that Jiang Ran would kill him so that he could make way for the Blood Dagger Hall in Qingfeng Pavilion.

Fortunately, Jiang Ran didn’t really do anything.

The things that should be done, the things that should be explained explained, Jiang Ran told everyone to disperse.

After a long day, it was time to rest.

When he returned to the room, he saw a table full of human heads …… on the table.

This would be considered a horrifying plot in any scene, in any TV series.

Tang Yuyi, however, said as if offering a treasure:

“I’ve packed out all the human heads.

“In the group of people who came today, there are a few wanted criminals who were recognized, so I asked them to cut off their heads and put them all together, so I can give you a surprise.”

Jiang Ran looked at the table of dead heads and gently rubbed his brow:

“You call this a …… surprise?”

A different person would have been scared to death, okay?

That is, Jiang Ran has been through hundreds of battles and cut off countless heads with his own hands, which can only be familiar with it.

“Don’t you like it?”

Tang Yuyi pouted her lips, a little aggravated, before explaining the identity of these people to Jiang Ran.

Apart from Lady Meng and that Blue Sect Vice Lord, there were also some Jiang Yang bandits in here.

Some of these people were directly affiliated with the Heavenly Que, and some were from the Remnant Sun Sect.

The bounty was not much, but it was a sizable amount.

After Jiang Ran heard this, he thought that it was indeed a nice surprise.

And then took out the head of that white door master, as well as the head of Bai Xichao, this pile of heads …… on the table, it really is a bit of a pile of mountains.

“How is this scene …… so awkward?”

He a righteous warrior, late at night in the house to admire a table of heads.

This matter spread out, really good to say not good to hear.

“Wouldn’t it be better if you didn’t look at them as human heads?”

Tang Yuyi relieved Jiang Ran of his heart’s breadth:

“You look at them and visualize them as silver.

“So much silver ah, you still don’t smile?”

“Still have to laugh?”

Jiang Ran twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling that Tang Yuyi’s request was a bit excessive.

It’s not even if you look at a human head in the middle of the night, you still have to laugh …… This can really scare people alive.

The villains in the movie are not this perverted.

He is at least a righteous warrior, doing this kind of thing can be too inconsistent with the identity.

Shook his head and packed up the human head again.

Just as he was about to take a sip of tea and smooth his qi, he saw Tang Yuyi take out a bottle as if offering a treasure:

“Look, what is this?”

Jiang Ran glanced at her, reached out and took it, opened the bottle and was about to smell it …… but suddenly looked at Tang Wuyi:

“You haven’t said what it is.”

“You didn’t wait for me to say it either.”

Tang Yuyi muttered before saying:

“This is Qu Yi San, a thing from the Acacia Sect, the effect is very powerful, see if it’s useful to you.”

Jiang Ran froze, before lifting his nose and sniffing it, and said thoughtfully:

“This thing …… seems to be somewhat powerful.”

Speaking here, he hurriedly reached into his pocket, took out a bottle, poured a pill into his mouth, and then knit his brows, feeling its qi and blood boiling in his body.

Only after a moment did this raise his eyebrows:

“This thing is a bit interesting, the aroma is very strong, inside should be put ‘seven love flowers’, en, the king and the minister, not only is the bitter medicine needs to be the main and auxiliary, poison, ecstasy, aphrodisiacs, in fact, are the same.

“The seven love flowers should be the main medicine among them ……

“However, several flavors of auxiliary drugs are also extremely critical, complementary to each other, in order to be able to achieve this kind of wind blowing not to disperse the mastery of the thing.

“Specifically, still need to think again.

“I also don’t know how it tastes.”

He poured a cup of tea and mixed a little bit of Qu Yi San from the bottle into it.

Tang Yuyi probed her head to look, and saw that the water in the cup, after this Qu Yi San was sprinkled in, first surfaced a touch of pink color.

Only later did it turn to the original tea color.

Jiang Ran put the lid on the bottle and picked up the tea cup to scrutinize it:

“After encountering water, the Qu Yi Scatter seems to have dissipated …….”

After saying this, he gently sipped a little and smacked his lips:

“Sure enough there is no medicinal properties, this thing is afraid of water, which should be mixed with the ‘fiery sun grass’, the wind is strong, water flooding is extinguished.

“Originally so …… interesting, is indeed very interesting.

“The one who configured this Qu Yi San in the Acacia Sect is a high ranking person.”

Tang Yuyi propped up her chin and tilted her head to look at Jiang Ran, seeing that he was focused and rambling, he really liked the gift he brought him.

Jiang Ran occasionally raised his head and looked at Tang Yuyi, he couldn’t help but smile, reaching out and gently tapping her on the side of her head:

“Alright, don’t stay up, go back and rest.

“These past few days, it’s been hard on you.”

Tang Yuyi shook her head, suddenly remembering something, she said to Jiang Ran:

“That letter from Bai Xichao was a lure, trying to invite the king into the jar.”

Jiang Ran’s fingers gave a slight lurch, followed by tapping twice on the desktop:

“Interesting …… Where did the information come from?”

“The Blue Sect Vice Lord.”

Tang Yuyi laughed, “Don’t look at me like this, I’m actually very powerful. As soon as the Blue Sect Vice Sect Master saw my true colors, he was directly scared and said everything.”

Jiang Ran silently looked at her:

“Then you can’t leave anyone alive.”

“So, all dead.”

Tang Yuyi spread her hands, “I guess, in a little while Lin Evenyi will come to you, I used the scorched tail to shock her and Tian Miaomiao into unconsciousness, this person is sensitive, she should be able to detect something, so you come and wipe my ass for me.

“This Qu Yi San you clean up well, don’t let her get hit by accident and cheapen her again.”

“Such a big person, wipe …… yourself.”

Jiang Ran rolled his eyes and shook his head:

“Okay, this time even if, sleep your sleep to go.

“Tomorrow morning, we’ll leave Purple Moon Villa.”

“Good.”

Tang Yuyi nodded and didn’t continue to say more, turning around to go back to her room.

Jiang Ran played with the Qu Yi San in his hand for a while, thinking of Tang Yuyi’s words just now, he smiled dumbly and immediately reached out and pressed his hand on top of the desktop.

With a shock of internal force, the tea in the cup splashed out.

He wrapped his hand around it, and the water flowed in a circle, then exploded in all directions.

The little bit of Qu Yi San’s medicinal power that remained in the air also instantly dissipated cleanly.

Just looking up towards the door, Jiang Ran’s eyebrows were slightly raised in thought.

It was at this moment that a voice came from outside the door:

“Has the great warrior Jiang fallen asleep?”

It wasn’t Lin Evening Yi.

Instead, it was Yan Wushuang.

Jiang Ran shook his hand, and the door to the room opened at once.

Yan Wushuang was dressed in white, and from this angle, it looked as if she was draped in a sky full of stars behind her as she stood in front of the door.

With four eyes facing each other, Jiang Ran smiled:

“Head of the Yan Club does things too unceremoniously, coming in the middle of the night to find a solitary man like me.

“You don’t want fame, I still want it.”

“After all, there are some things that can’t be said openly and honestly.”

Yan Wushuang didn’t mind Jiang Ran’s words, and directly came within the room, sat down opposite Jiang Ran, and glanced at the bottle in Jiang Ran’s hand:

“What is that?”

“Nothing to do with you.”

Jiang Ran casually gathered the bottle into his sleeve.

“The more you say that, the more curious I am.”

Yan Wushuang stared at Jiang Ran’s sleeve for a couple moments before saying:

“But there’s no need for Jiang Warrior to misunderstand, I didn’t come here today to look for backstabbing in the middle of a trap.”

“…… And stay.”

Jiang Ran stretched out his hand, “This matter you don’t look for the back account, I still have to look for it. I saved your life, this matter will not be mixed up by you like this, right? Do you know that you were in my arms, and it was quite a hard thing for me to climb the cliff with you.”

“Without mentioning this matter, you and I can still be friends.”

“Otherwise? Are you still planning to be a couple with me?”

Jiang Ran shook his head, “Head of the Yan Association, please respect yourself.”

Click!

The tea cup in his palm was directly crushed by Yan Wushuang.

This person always made it difficult for her to be at peace with herself in just a few words.

When she came to see him tonight, she had burned incense and bathed for a long time, which calmed her thoughts.

As a result, it broke down minute by minute.

She looked deeply at Jiang Ran:

“Jiang warrior, I’m here to talk about buying and selling with you.”

“Buy you or buy me?”

“Buy medicine!!!”

“Good.”

Jiang Ran nodded:

“The conditions are the same as before, if head of the Yan Club accepts it, then we can talk. If you don’t accept it, then take your time.”

“You want too much, I’ll give you up to fifty-fifty on my side.”

“Fifty-fifty ……”

Jiang Ran’s finger nodded on the desktop:

“Fifty-fifty is fine, however, the Hundred Treasures Society needs to promise me a condition.”

“You say.”

“If you want to go fifty-fifty with me, then some people can’t sell this medicine.

“For example, Heavenly Que.”

Jiang Ran looked up at Yan Wushuang: “I will make a list for you, Heavenly Que Zuo Dao Zhuang are on it, you promise, and strictly implement, this matter can continue. If you tell Jiang to know, Hundred Treasures will be in violation of the law ……

“Ximen Feng can only steal some of your things.

“Mister Jiang might directly smash the signboard of your Hundred Treasures Society, I advise you to think carefully, this is not a small matter.”

Yan Wushuang was momentarily fixed on the spot.

After a long time, she stood up:

“Let me think about it, when will you leave Purple Moon Villa?”

“I will leave first thing tomorrow morning.”

“Good, I’ll give you an answer tomorrow.”

After Yan Wushuang finished speaking, she turned around and left, only to walk to the door, but she couldn’t help but look back at Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran happened to raise his head, and under the four eyes, he saw Yan Wushuang let out a light laugh, as if she wanted to say something.

But when the words reached her mouth, she swallowed them back.

Finally, she gently shook her head:

“Farewell.”

Jiang Ran saw her walk into the darkness, gradually disappearing.

He also smiled, and then gently let out a breath.

Reaching out to pour himself another cup of tea, he heard another commotion from the courtyard:

“Your Excellency, Lin Evening Yi has come to visit, please grant your Excellency an audience.”

“Come in.”
